A command-line tool to send data to a <pastebin>. To paste e.g. your sources.list do "aptitude install pastebinit; pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list"; to paste the output of a program do e.g. "dmesg | pastebinit". See also <pastebinit config>, <nopaste>.

ach: it sounds like you have removed some important packages and your system might be fairly broken. Depending on your knowledge of debian, a backup/reinstall of stretch maybe far easier (and give you a nicer state for your system) then trying to fix this.

Hello. I tried to contact via PM on IRC (both Freenode and OFTC.net Networks), but the LaMont Jones Debian / Ubuntu Maintainer only read my messages from PM Freenode Chat Room, and don't responded. What is the best way to stay in contact with Debian LTS Team (for Wheezy, nowadays), and Security Repository Tracker?

Debian Long Term Support (LTS) is a project to extend the lifetime of all Debian stable releases to (at least) 5 years. Debian LTS is not handled by the Debian security team, but by a separate group of volunteers and companies. Ask me about <wheezy-lts> and see https://wiki.debian.org/LTS for more information. #debian-lts on irc.oftc.net.

Security support for Debian 7 "Wheezy" from the Debian Security Team ended on 2016-04-25. The amd64, i386, armel and armhf architectures receive additional long term support (LTS) via <wheezy/updates> until 2018-05-31. See http://deb.li/2aC for excluded packages. No changes to /etc/apt/sources.list are needed for wheezy-lts.

lhvf[m]: You may want to read up on how debian development works. Most of the bug effort is in testing/unstable. Once released, stable gets security fixes and some select bug fixes (and these are bugs that are considered serious/grave enough to warnt a fix in the frozen release)

lhvf[m]: Does you bug have a security impact that justifies it getting it fixed within the last month of still having support? If the answer is "no", you can close the bug report. If it's "yes", you're still missing the justification.

The bug is the read (Reported by "dmesg" command) points to a wrong Speed Read Rate (62X in the common USB barrier for External ODDs It's completely impossible). Ubuntu, with the same doesn't presents this issue. util-linux is the package of 'dmesg', right?

> lhvf[m]: Does you bug have a security impact that justifies it getting it fixed within the last month of still having support? If the answer is "no", you can close the bug report. If it's "yes", you're still missing the justification.

The justification is the incorrect / unpropperly disc handling of Optical Discs, maybe. When the ODDs worked to burn, I cannot burnt it on a DVD+DL Medium propperly. Today for burnings this External ODD is broken, only reads, and TSST-Corp discontinued the sector of ODDs.

"and dmesg is just the message's reporter. it's doing what it's supposed to do." With "62X" of Read Speed Rate, something is clearly going wrong with this package compilation. Ubuntu with same package version, primarily based on Debian, doesn't have such bug / issue. Could Debian borrow Ubuntu compilation instead, for a fix?

lhvf[m]: Also reporting 62x is not wrong. It's simply the speed the device reports back. If you expect it to magically know the interface speed and adjust that value accordingly, you have wrong expectations.

The implementation of suspend-to-ram and suspend-to-disk is not implemented in any standard way by manufacturers. There are conventions, but no standards, which makes it hard for Linux to support all possible variations.

am i right in assuming that I can easily reinstall a list of packages on the same distro after a new installation when I first export them via dpkg --get-selections > out and then, after reinstalling debian, reinstall the packages via dpkg --set-selections < out ?

One method of cloning Debian installs is to take a current Debian machine that is set up with the packages you want and run the command "dpkg --get-selections > ~/selectionfile". Then, after the base install on other machines use that file and do: "dpkg --set-selections < ~/selectionfile && apt-get dselect-upgrade". Also ask me about <aptitude clone>, <reinstall>, <things to backup> <apt-clone>.

jhutchins: it's on a separate computer, I want to basically clone my OS (but the hdd size is completely different and as I am using full encryption, adapting that is more of a hassle than just reinstalling I figure)
